We’re delighted to see the Home Office launch this Call for Evidence\, which we urge industry to input into. ITS UK are supporting the Home Office to engage with industry and stakeholders in getting a wide scope of views. \n\nAbout the Call for Evidence \nThe Call for Evidence will support a review of HOTA for Road Traffic Law Enforcement Devices (RTLEDs) used by the police and other law enforcement agencies in Great Britain. The Call for Evidence is designed to gain insights into stakeholder experiences of HOTA and to invite any suggestions for improvements that the Home Office could consider. It launched on 15 January 2024\, two days before this event\, and will close on 14 February 2024. \nThe Call for Evidence will cover RTLEDs as described in “The Speedmeter\, Traffic Light and Prohibited Lane Enforcement Camera Handbook v2.0” The Handbook contains a description of the technical requirements to be met for consideration of type-approval of certain types of speed\, traffic light and prohibited lane enforcement equipment which are prescribed devices for the purposes of the road traffic legislation. HOTA of breath testing devices and drug-testing devices are out of scope of this Call for Evidence. \nYou can find the Call for Evidence here. Please note\, this page will be in draft form until the Call for Evidence is launched on 15 January. \n\nWhat is HOTA? \nHOTA provides assurance that the device is accurate\, precise\, consistent and reliable and that its evidence can be relied on. Under section 20 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988\, in proceedings concerning certain traffic offences* records or measurements made by police equipment for traffic law enforcement can admissible as evidence subject to the following conditions: the equipment is a type approved by the Secretary of State and that any conditions subject to which the approval was given are satisfied. \nRegister to attend here\n  \n* The offences are listed in s20(2) Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988
